In the meanwhile I found a half-solution.
Disable the option: "Enable XP visual styles" in the project's options.
This disables the 'skinning' of applications and makes your controls look like Win 98 controls.
Then enter in the MyBase.Load event code: Application.EnableVisualStyles()
This does change buttons and menu's back to their XP-layout, but the progressbar stays in it's Win 98-style, which DOES support smooth scrolling.
I also checked out the ElementsEX control, but for my application it has little extra to offer than the solution I use now and I would really like to stay with Window's default controls.
What I would really like is a smooth XP-style scrollbar, which must be possible to achieve. Because, for example, FireFox uses it in it's downloads screen (see the attachment).
